Gastropub · Derby
Set around fishing lakes on the edge of Derby, this is the kind of local that works year-round with children in tow — a roaring fire in winter, a big garden with water views in summer, and free parking so you're not circling. The carvery is the draw: plenty of meats, heaps of vegetables, and roast potatoes people single out as fabulous, with the beef and nut roast both praised. Service is quick and genuinely accommodating — staff have been known to find a quieter table when a room gets loud and spare older or slower guests the carvery queue. Two honest snags: the dining room is downstairs and the building runs over several levels, so book a downstairs table if you've a pram; and the menu beyond the carvery is thin. Kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating all sorted.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
